Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The Target Tank is a "banal" looking clearomizer. But, if it looks like many others, it is nevertheless very different since it does not use any hair wicks. It is a porous ceramic which leads the liquid to the resistive wire.

Affordable, it is available in two different colors: black or steel. The look is rather nice, of a classic sobriety and its capacity is comfortable for a standard diameter of 22mm.

I admit I was amazed by this ceramic, which certainly requires power and therefore energy, but which lasts a long time and avoids dry-hits and blockages. For the flavors… no I'm not telling you, I'll let you read the rest. 😉

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

There is not much to say about the quality of this clearomizer. We stay on a standard product, in matt stainless steel, which does not mark fingerprints. The pyrex tank is quite sturdy and it was very difficult for me to remove it. I admit I was a little afraid of breaking it (the chronicler's obsession when lending him equipment ...) but finally, the first seal passed, it comes out quite easily and recovers even better.

The seals have a very good hold and are of good quality. In addition, their thickness makes them efficient and robust.

The drip-tip fits well and remains stable. The engravings under the base of the atomizer are clear and precise.

The Target Tank is very easy to use. It breaks down into three pieces and the only two threads are at the resistor and on the 510 connection.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

This clearomizer benefits from a relatively aerial and adjustable airflow. The filling, by unscrewing the tank from its base, is rather easy but it requires a little care if you do not want to put some aside.

The little novelty therefore comes mainly from its resistance. Positioned vertically, it allows, thanks to its large diameter, an excellent air circulation which allows to obtain a very airy rendering. The resistive wire is not surrounded by a cotton wick or other, but by a porous ceramic which withstands high temperatures and which is responsible for providing the resistance with liquid while retaining it enough to naturally regulate the flow of juice.

Target_resistance1

The Target Tank is made for vaping on powers around 30W with a considerable advantage: that of not having any leaks or a burnt taste, since on the one hand the ceramic absorbs the quantity it needs to fill up and on the other hand, if you put yourself in a “dry-hit” situation, there is no combustion of the capillaries and no parasitic taste persists like on burnt cotton. 

The dissipation of the heat is correct, the resistances are in kanthal or in nickel and the pin, unfortunately, is not adjustable.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Medium
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: Good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

For the drip-tip, I hesitated on the material since it is not indicated on the note. But in the mouth, the material is very soft and the drip-tip is slightly soft, I think it is Delrin.

Its size is medium, its appearance is black, classic, smooth and really simple. On the other hand, its openness is appreciable even if we are far from a drip-top.

On the palate, it remains comfortable.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 4 / 5 4 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The packaging is consistent with the price range of the product and remains adequate. In a rigid cardboard box, the atomizer and accessories are well wedged. The instructions are a little too brief and only in English but still sufficient to start.

In terms of accessories, Vaporesso offers us an additional tank with four spare gaskets, a short manual and a map of the specificities of ceramic resistance.

You will also have a resistance already installed of 0.9Ω and an additional resistance of 0.2Ω in Ni200 which can be used in temperature control mode.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Although the filling of the tank is easy, it is necessary to be careful not to put it aside because the space remains narrow between the wall of the pyrex and the chimney, so think to lean the atomizer before filling it.

The pin is not adjustable but even on an electronic box or a mechanical tubular mod, the contact is perfect. I did not encounter the slightest problem with the various mods tested.

The airflow ring, located on the base, is adjustable and closes or clears two so-called “cyclops” holes. It swivels really well, without forcing and does not move when it is in the final position. The Target goes from a very airy vape to a tighter vape, and at 30W, it will be about halfway through its run.

The Target Tank is composed of very few elements, its use is really simple and the change of resistance does not require emptying the tank. 

I started my test with the resistance of 0.9Ω. Before the ceramic is soaked, it takes a little longer than a regular wick and when I vaped my first puff at 20W, I felt a slight heat, no steam and with a strange taste. This can be compared to a dry-hit, smoke-free and without having the same irritating effects on the throat. After that, when the ceramic has been soggy, I start to have a very light vapor with a little gurgling. So I gradually increased the power up to 30W. There, it is only happiness: the odd little taste has literally disappeared, no gurgling and a dense and hot vapor. It therefore takes a slight priming time for the ceramic system and do not hesitate to send power so that the flow of liquid remains constant on the resistance.

For a value of 0.9Ω, this resistor will therefore require more power than with a conventional fiber capillary. The liquid consumption is average but the energy required is higher.

As for the flavors, they are very good and free from any parasitic taste. However, all the liquids will not be really “compatible” because the ceramic conducts and keeps a constant heat, sometimes a little too hot, which will not be suitable for all the juices, in particular the fruity ones because the restitution of certain flavors will seem to you. a little different, as if "packed" by the additional heat. On the other hand, for liquids requiring lukewarm / hot steam, it's royal!

On the other hand, on the 0.2Ω resistor in temperature control mode, it is quite another thing. From the first puff, set at a temperature of 230 ° C, the vapor is almost cold, very dense and above all it is soft and pleasant in the mouth. A very comfortable vape that consumes much less energy than the resistance in kanthal. The flavors are very well restored, like a good reconstructable atomizer.

To clean your resistance, simply pass underwater to remove traces of liquid residues. A dry-burn remains possible to perfect the cleaning since your ceramics will not take fire! And liquid splashes in the drip-tip are non-existent.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

The Target Tank is a very good atomizer. Although its appearance is common to other sub-ohm clearomizers, its ceramic resistors are a distinction and an undeniable asset for dense steam and good flavors.

However, the resistance in kanthal consumes a little too much energy while that in Ni200 is quite suitable. Obviously, the ceramic associated with Ni200 is a material that goes perfectly with the temperature control mode.

Ceramic makes it possible to no longer use a hair fiber since the capillarity is ensured by the porosity of the material itself. Therefore, it is designed to last much longer than conventional resistors. I do not have the time to experiment to confirm this statement but in view of this test, I think it will be a reality.
